What is behavioral interviewing!!
Hi friends i hope this posting will be of some use to you: behavioral interviewing is a technique that asks candidates questions that draw upon past experiences and actions as opposed to questions that attempt to illicit a response to a theoretical situation or questions that simply ask the candidate how they view themselves. the idea behind this style of interviewing is to find out how a person has reacted in particular situations instead of hearing how they view themselves. in addition it is an attempt to bring more specifics to the table as traditional interviewing styles lend themselves toward very vague answers that often do not paint a clear picture a candidate s fit within an organization. let s take a look at some examples of each of the interviewing styles. traditional: describe your strenths and weaknesses. what do you see yourself doing five years from now? if you had difficulty with another employee how would you handle the situation? behavioral: describe a time that you had to make an important decision. what was it and how did you handle the situation? sometimes working with others can be challenging. describe a time when you had to work with a person that you conflicted with and how you resolved the situation. you will often find that behavioral interviews generally take longer and can often involve a panel of interviewers. this can be a little intimidating if you are not used to it. i remember an interview once in front of 6 panel members that lasted for 3 hours. very exhausting indeed. tips: how will you know which type of interview you will be doing beforehand? well you most likely won t know however there is a rule of thumb that can help you make an educated guess. if it is a large corporation there is a much better chance that the interview will be behavioral. if it is a small company it will most likely not be a behavioral interview. the reason for this is that larger companies have hr departments whose job it is to make sure that as a company they are using the most effective methods of candidate selection and tend to have the resources to develop these types of programs smaller business typically do not have the time or budget that larger corporations have and would tend to view something like this as a very low priority. the questions that you get in a behavioral interview will tend to be more difficult and thought provoking than the traditional style. most interviewers understand this fact and will understand if you need a little time to think of an example but if you take too long on too many questions it may appear to them that you aren t very selfaware or have not been through the types of experiences that they would like an employee to be able to deal with. make sure that you are giving examples that actually answer the question. i have given many of these interviews where the applicant was obviously nervous and their answers had nothing to do with the questions being asked. unfortunately if this happens often enough throughout the course of the interview it might make you look like an idiot to the interviewers. if the question honestly does not apply to any of your past experiences at all then it is probably best to say so rather than give an example that is completely irrelevant. be specific provide actual instances dates people involved and other information that you can recall. it will lend credibility to your story. to a degree you can prepare for the interview. using the links at the bottom of this article go through some of the sample questions and try to think of examples. you may find similar questions in your actual interview. most importantly just relax and be yourself. regards manju :

Behavioral interview!!!
Hi all what is a behavioral interview? behavioral based interviewing is interviewing based on discovering how the interviewee acted in specific employmentrelated situations. the logic is that how you behaved in the past will predict how you will behave in the future i.e. past performance predicts future performance. in a traditional interview you will be asked a series of questions which typically have straight forward answers like "what are your strenghts and weaknesses?" or "what major challenges and problems did you face? how did you handle them?" or "describe a typical work week." in a behavioral interview an employer has decided what skills are needed in the person they hire and will ask questions to find out if the candidate has those skills. instead of asking how you would behave they will ask how you did behave. questions in a behavioral interview behavioral interview questions will be more pointed more probing and more specific: # give an example of an occasion when you used logic to solve a problem. # give an example of a goal you reached and tell me how you achieved it. # describe a decision you made that was unpopular and how you handled implementing it. # have you gone above and beyond the call of duty? if so how? # what do you do when your schedule is interrupted? give an example of how you handle it. # have you had to convince a team to work on a project they weren t thrilled about? how did you do it? # have you handled a difficult situation with a coworker? how? # tell me about how you worked effectively under pressure. followup questions will also be detailed. you may be asked what you did what you said how you reacted or how you felt. preparation for the potential behavioral interview what s the best way to prepare? it s important to remember that you won t know what type of interview will take place until you are sitting in the interview room. so prepare answers to traditional interview questions. then since you don t know exactly what situations you will be asked about if it s a behavioral interview refresh your memory and consider some special situations you have dealt with or projects you have worked on. you may be able to use them to help frame responses. prepare stories that illustrate times when you have successfully solved problems or performed memorably. the stories will be useful to help you respond meaningfully in a behavioral interview. finally review the job description if you have it or the job posting or ad. you may be able to get a sense of what skills and behavioral characteristics the employer is seeking from reading the job description and position requirements. during the interview if you are not sure how to answer the question ask for clarification. then be sure to include these points in your answer: # a specific situation # the tasks that needed to be done # the action you took # the results i.e. what happened it s important to keep in mind that there are no right or wrong answers. the interviewer is simply trying to understand how you behaved in a given situation. how you respond will determine if there is a fit between your skills and the position the company is seeking to fill. so listen carefully be clear and detailed when you respond and most importantly be honest. if your answers aren t what the interviewer is looking for this position may not be the best job for you anyway. regards :d :d :d
